The Wife Who Knew Too Much by Michele Campbell

This was the third book I've read by Michele Campbell, and it didn't disappoint! The book is fast-paced with lots of twists and turns, and was hard to put down. I was able to figure some things out fairly early, but there were still other curve balls I didn't anticipate. I also loved how the title worked for more than one character. Thank you to NetGalley, St. Martin's Press, and Michele Campbell for allowing me to read an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Watermark by Jennifer Farquhar

I have to say I picked this book up by accident, thinking it was a different book with the same title.  I decided to read it anyway, and am I ever glad I did!  

Jennifer Farquhar has written a compelling story about how a tragedy, and its consequences, drove Marina (Mina) and her family into a complete tailspin.  Mina left her home for twenty years, but now that her mother is gone, Mina returns with her own son to sell her family home. Mina hopes she can get back out before her past consumes her completely.

When Mina was young, her friend Bird told her many Native stories and beliefs, especially about Lake Huron.  These stories become intrinsic to the story and Mina's thought processes. I grew up along Lake Huron myself, and swam in its waters many, many times. I will never again swim in Lake Huron without thinking about this book and what might be lurking, good and bad, in the water with me.

I gave this book a rating of 5 stars.
